CGI & 3D ANIMATION STUDIO
Cutting Factory is an animation studio with a wide variety of tools and techniques to provide you with any type of animation, whether one scene or an entire ad-length or promo video production.
Modelling & texturing
Our animation studio starts modelling a film’s assets by creating complex meshes from shapes and tools.
Our rigid workflow through UV layout determines a process to exploit base modelling methods and define our reference materials.
Rigging
We are experts in manipulating the geometry of characters and the interaction they have with their environments.
Our understanding of physics and anatomy simplifies this process.
We use creativity, precision, and an eye for detail to animate specific parts of basic skeletons that will ultimately make them believable.
Animation
Cutting Factory team members boast expert skills across many types of toolsets.
We begin with simple keyframing to map the journey.
We then begin to add the finer details to make objects to appear as they should.
Character Animation
Cutting Factory creates emotionally believable characters in a wide variety of styles, translating our 2D storyboard sketches into fully rigged character exports.
Particle FX, fluid dynamics & rigid-body simulation
Want your story to flow well?
Our understanding of particle-based fluid dynamics and rigid-body simulation allows us to correctly predict the flow of complex geometrics combined with detailed motion.
Our models undergo high deformation during this simulation process and can have many applications, specifically in the powertrain, and automotive / aerospace industries.
Lighting, camera setup & multi-pass rendering
Lighting alone can determine the overall success of a render.
We craft our lighting solutions to match the exact requirements of each scene.
For camera setups, we create bespoke groups to replicate real world scenarios.
We then build specific controls that are locked down to produce a final setup.
Multi-pass renders add final touches to a scene, from depth-of-field to motion blur.
“It is often a challenge for technology companies like Telescent to convey both the key benefits of the product while creating an emotional story that grabs the viewer and leaves an impact. The team at Cutting Factory combined strong video expertise in animation, real-life video and sound to create a video that I expect to use for years to come.”
